Public education is foundational for maintaining a free country. To quote Jefferson “Educate and inform the whole mass of the people- They are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty.” #PublicEducationMatters @PASchoolsWork @PSBA @MCIU pottsmerc.com/2025/02/11/let…

The national Education Law Center school funding report is out- PA gets an A for level of funding and effort of funding... and a big F for our very inequitable distribution of funding. edlawcenter.org/research/makin… @powerinterfaith @edlawcenterpa @PubIntLawCtr @PSBA @PASchoolsWork

Our statement on the passage of the 2024-2025 budget. Is it perfect? No. Do we still need a multi-year plan? Yes. Are we incredibly glad to see the @PaLegis acknowledge its constitutional duty to provide a quality, equitable education? YES.

Rural schools are the ♥️ of rural communities. It breaks our 💔 that our own rural legislators aren't the loudest voices for adequate funding. @SenatorPittman please #ShowTheNumbers for your proposed school funding plan. Our @PARSS2go kids are waiting. pubintlaw.org/cases-and-proj….

The only reason to use such a bogus methodology is to back into a lower price tag. They want to artificially undercount poor kids and pass the buck to school districts and local taxpayers. It disingenuous and wrong, and House leaders and @GovernorShapiro should reject it.

The details get a little wonky, but here’s the TL,DR: Senate leaders are cynically trying to shave off $1.5 billion from what they owe inadequately funded, low-wealth school districts using an unprincipled and bogus methodology to undercount kids in poverty.

New: A debate over what poverty data decides which school districts get extra funding has emerged as a late point of partisan contention as policymakers negotiate a deal to end Pennsylvania's week+ old budget delay. Via @SpotlightPA spotlightpa.org/news/2024/07/e…

We need an education budget that lives up to the moral, economic, and constitutional needs of our state.

“We don’t want a bad budget to pass on time. We want a good budget where school districts can actually count on it. The House has done the job. The governor says he supports it. The Senate has to do its job.” #FinishTheJob #PABudget delcotimes.com/2024/07/03/del…

Investing in public education pays off in many levels, including economically. @PASenateGOP @PaHouseDems @GovernorShapiro @PADeptofEd @PaSenateDems @PAHouseGOP

Public Interest Law Center@PubIntLawCtr

What would sufficient public school funding mean for Pennsylvania? According to researchers at @PennGSE 🎓3,800 more high school graduates 📚3,860 more college enrollees These improvements would yield more than $5 billion in economic benefits for PA inquirer.com/education/penn…

When they take the 1% of kids out of schools like this, what are they going to do for the 99% of kids that are going to be left behind in these buildings? (2/3)

"Private schools can pick and choose; public schools cannot--they must teach economically disadvantaged students, ELL students and students with disabilities. That requires funding that can’t be raised in districts that abound with low-income households" lancasteronline.com/opinion/editor…
